2009-2010 WINERY-RELATED ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS and ASSOCIATED INTERPRETIVE GUIDANCE RESOLUTION, COUNTY-INITIATED ZONING CODE TEXT AMENDMENT No. P10-00098-ORD
CEQA Status: Negative Declaration Prepared. According to the proposed negative declaration, the project would not have any potentially significant environmental impacts. This project is applicable to all parcels zoned and sized to allow wine production, a number of which are included on the lists of hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government Code §65962.5.
Request: County-sponsored ordinance to: 1.) amend Napa County Code §18.08.370 “Marketing of wine,” to clarify existing limitations on where, when, how, and for whom allowed winery marketing may occur; 2.) amend Napa County Code §18.08.620 “Tours and tastings,” to clarify existing limitations on food and wine pairings at wineries; and 3.) amend §18.16.030 (H) and §18.20.030 (J) to allow the sale of wine related products as a winery-accessory use within the AP (Agricultural Preserve) and AW (Agricultural Watershed) zoning districts. The project also includes adoption of a resolution establishing interpretive guidance related to winery activities within the AP and AW zoning districts.
Proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendments and associated policy interpretations would apply to unincorporated areas countywide, and in particular to those parcels zoned and sized to allow wine production. In staff's view, the proposal would update but not substantively change provisions of the Winery Definition Ordinance (WDO) adopted in 1990.
Ordinance Title: AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF NAPA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTIONS 18.08.370, 18.08.620, 18.16.030, AND 18.20.030 OF THE COUNTY CODE AS THEY RELATE TO THE MARKETING OF WINE, FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGS CONDUCTED AS PART OF TOURS AND TASTINGS AND THE MARKETING OF WINE RELATED PRODUCTS PERMITTED AT WINERIES IN THE AGRICULTURAL PRESERVE (AP) AND AGRICULTURAL WATERSHED (AW) ZONING DISTRICTS.
Resolution Title: A RESOLUTION OF THE NAPA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF NAPA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING INTERPRETIVE GUIDANCE ON MARKETING ACTIVITIES FOR WINERIES.
Staff Recommendation: That the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing and recommend that the Board of Supervisors adopt the proposed negative declaration, adopt the proposed ordinance, and adopt the proposed resolution.
